I think the global economy is in bad shape and cheap foods like the Taco bell, KFC's five dollar meal deals will do good. Still haven't found a reason to spend $20 dollars on a pizza yet. Pizza Hut needs a Bar attached and go after the liquor market.

Having worked for PepsiCo and such, taco bells dollar menu and the scare in china will affect the price of the burrito supreme that you love, also will cost you double now and you will purchase this like everyone else! stock will not go under $60 to $70

When you follow up really bad store comps last year (-11%) with even worse results (-13%) this year in your largest and most important market (China), this is no longer an isolated case of tainted food. There is something wrong with how the business is being managed.

Concerns in China are near-term issues. The company is starting to stabilize its China division, which is a huge part of the business. As sales growth returns, the company's near-term results will benefit. But that's not the real reason. The real reason lies in its potential for expansion overseas. When you look at restaurant density, China is nowhere near the density of the developed world so it's far from saturation. This also doesn't take into account growth potential from other foreign markets, such as India, where Yum's footprint is a mere fraction of the size of that in China. Despite the pop, the shares are still attractive for the long term.

Every time I drive past (or go to) one of these restaurants they are packed. This is a buy what you see type of play. I still think they have a leg up on Chipotle because of price and they're starting to integrate quality into the Taco Bell menu (depending on your opinion).
